Midway Announces European Ship Date of UT3 on PS3

Midway Games has announced the European ship date of Epic's Unreal Tournament 3 on Sony's PlayStation 3. The game, which hits shelves on 22nd February, 2008 in Europe, follows on from a phenomenally successful worldwide release of the PC version at the end of last year. Factoring in the launch of the PS3 version in North America on the 11th December, Midway has already shipped over 1.2million units of this FPS.

Backed by a multi-million Euro marketing campaign, UT3 has had an enormous TV presence, as well as generating over 1billion page impressions on its online activity. The strategic trade activities, such as hardware bundles and localized in-store activity have been bolstered significantly through partnering with SCEE, who will also be jointly promoting UT3 on PS3 and God of War on PSP at a combined launch event in Paris.

Unreal Tournament 3 marks the return of the world's premiere first-person shooter to the PC, and its debut on PlayStation 3 system. Unreal Tournament 3 unleashes the full power of Unreal Engine 3, taking graphics, gameplay, and challenge to a whole new level. Players engage in intense battles with other human players online, or against Unreal artificial intelligence that sets the industry standard.
